According to the wording of the communique, this award "was named for good reason after the patron saint of statesmen and lawyers", Tamás Szent Mórus, who was canonized in 1935 and who for generations has inspired judges, lawyers, legal professionals and civil servants of different religions to dedicate their lives to be placed at the service of the public good.
